Based on the NEPS resource Supporting Pupils with Literacy Difficulties using the Continuum of Support (Primary), this webinar provides an overview of how schools can adopt a problem-solving approach to support pupils who experience difficulties with literacy, including pupils with dyslexia.
Learning Outcomes include:

This webinar aims to provide information to primary schools on how to manage Reluctant School Attendance and School Avoidance Behaviour
Reluctant attendance and school avoidance behaviour describes students’ reluctance to go to school, being late for school/absent from school regularly, or for long periods of time and partial absences. NEPS have developed guidance documents to support schools and parents.
The webinar will orient attendees to these guidance documents for parents and schools and provide schools with information and best practice for schools in supporting students to attend and stay in school.
